Quest 3: Create a Song or Animation

Explorers, you have another choice to make for this next quest! You can choose to either create an animation introducing your island to potential settlers on GoAnimate! The animation will include explanations of specific island land forms and bodies of water, or you can work with two other classmates to create a song based on a specific geographic topic. You would then record your song on Garage Band and post your song on our classroom website. Whatever you choose, you will need to first complete a rough draft plan for your choice! You will have two class periods to work on this quest.
